Sun has a vision - to lead the world in open network computing.

Our philosophy has always been to make a company's intelligence and computing power available to a broad user audience. We aim to continue enabling companies to create real business powerhouses that enjoy total flexibility, now and in the future - a goal that depends on both the results we achieve and the way we work to achieve them.  

Our vision of excellence is underpinned by five basic values. These values are not mere words - they are realities which govern the way we do business, and treat both our customers and our own people.

  1. Quality must set us apart. Therefore, we set and maintain the highest standards for our people, products and processes.
  2. Customers have to be our priority: we aim to meet their needs while always striving for market leadership.
  3. We must have teamwork in order to maintain the integrity of the whole. We therefore encourage and reward teamwork in relationships among employees, customers, vendors and shareholders.
  4. We are aiming for profitable company growth and believe in strongly developing all Sun people. We acknowledge the essential link between these two important ideals.
  5. We want to maintain a positive work environment, characterised by openness and respect for the individual. Each and every one of us shares in the responsibility for making this ideal a reality.

Linked to these values is our aim to ensure that rewards and benefits available to Sun employees are among the best in the industry. We aim to pay salaries that compete with any in the industry, and these are subject to review at regular intervals. In addition, we are conscious of the different benefit needs of employees depending in their personal circumstances.

We provide some Core Benefits to all employees, and to accommodate individual prefences, we offer a Flexible Benefits Package:

    Core Benefits:

  • Contributory Pension Scheme

  • Life Assurance

  • Sick Pay

  • Long-Term Disability Plan

  • Medical Screening

  • Subsidised Gym Membership

  • Employee Discounted Stock Purchase Plan

  • 22 day holidays rising to 27 after 5 years service

  • 3 Company Days
    Flexible benefits:

    In addition to the above, employees are allocated a % of salary to purchase additional benefits including:
  • VHI cover

  • Employee Share Participation Plan

  • Purchase of Additional Vacation

  • Increased Life Assurance

And it's fun!

Sun's the classic 'work hard, play hard' environment, with a casual dress code and flexible working hours. Our people are empowered to challenge the way we operate, shaping their own career and introducing their own ideas to the business. We also encourage and reward teamwork, whether it's between employees, customers, vendors, shareholders or virtual teams operating across the globe.
